CreditSights allows you to easily add your coverage interests from different categories to view a personalized feed and email alerts that help you prioritize your workflow.

Typically, you will set up these preferences during your onboarding process, in just three simple steps: Select your role, what you are interested in, and then start adding issuers to the Watchlist.

You can always go back again and manage your preferences by clicking on the bookmark icon at top right and then selecting preferences, that takes you to the My Content page.

In the tabs to the right of My Content you can view your preferences, add preferences, change the frequency of your email Alerts, and indicate if you want to view them in your feed or not.

• • Digest – effectively becomes your daily table of contents. Based on your preferences, each day we will email you a summary of articles for the category and preferences you selected.
  • Instant – select this option if you want to be notified immediately via email about an article we publish in that category.
  • None – select this option if you do not want to receive email alerts

We’ve integrated our search, surfacing not only companies, but relevant articles delineated by content source.

Use the Search bar in the top menu navigation of creditsights.com to look for companies by Name, Region, Country, Sector, Credit Grade, CS View, Currency and Coverage.

Teamwork is a hallmark of the CreditSights approach, allowing us to fully leverage the experience of our senior staff while benefiting from the innovation and fresh perspective that comes from our more junior team members.

When you find an article you like, you can now save a bookmark for that content, providing easy access to all the articles you have saved. You click on the bookmark icon at the top right and go to My Content, where it will show all those saved articles. Just click again on the bookmark icon if you want to discard that.

Also, you can manage watchlists, which you can set to appear in your feed. Until now, the watchlists for CreditSights, Covenant Review and LevFin Insights have all been separate, but now you can manage many watchlists in the same place. There is a toggle button at the top right of the pane, where you can decide to view a particular watchlist in your feed, or not.

We have compiled a User Guide that should answer most of your questions about the new CreditSights platform, expanding on the topics found in this FAQ: Features, Navigation, Content, Onboarding Tips and Troubleshooting

When you open the new CreditSights platform, on the left you will see the three sources now available together in our unified platform:
Research from CreditSights, Covenants data, and News from LevFin Insights.

Content is grouped below under each of those three sections. You can collapse your screen view by clicking on the Content Type dropdown, if you don’t subscribe to one of these services, or don’t care to see a particular content set.

Existing users will notice the 2-column layout for a “cozy” view, as well as the option for an expanded view, which you can select using the toggle buttons in the top right of that pane.

On the right-hand side you can see widgets with Morning Comment, Top Read articles, Recent Rec Changes and Recently viewed articles. Just scroll down to see the section that interests you.

There are additional widgets as you scroll down on the right-hand side of the Feeds screen that are intended to help you navigate the breadth of our content:

• Morning Comment
• Top Reads
• Recent Rec Changes
• Recently Viewed articles
• Covenant Quick Filters

If you do want to change your subscriptions, for example if you do not currently subscribe to Covenant Review, click on the Get Help button at bottom-right and there you can reach out to our team via a website form to report an issue and request full access, not just the summary content in this view.

CreditSights’ website integrates Covenant Review and LevFin Insights into one united platform with a single login for a seamless user experience.

When you log in to CreditSights, you will immediately have access to several feeds: My Feed is your personalized view, while Global Feed is a macro view.

In either case you still see the content sets, broken down by section: Research, Covenants and News.
There are filters at the top of the pane to make it easy for you to then drill down by Region, Sectors/Subsectors, Credit Grades, Topics, Reports and Date.

When viewing a series of articles in your feed, there is now a preview pane on the right-hand side, so you can see if that is something that interests you, and from there you can simply click to view the full article.

Company pages have been enhanced to combine financials, our relative value recs and opinions, risk scores, documents, upcoming events, deals, data and related research.

While there is a configurable layout, in response to client feedback, we have set a default in 3 columns, instead of the old 2 column layout, which enhances the information density with the latest news at center, a CreditSights view to the right, and then key metrics below.

Now, rather than just a general market view, you can drill right down to all the information specific to a particular company. You will see the overview, recently published content, broken down by content type, and then other information we have available, such as Deals, Events, Documents and Filings for that company.

Drop in your portfolio (there is no limit to the number of companies), this gives you instant access to the ones you most care about.

Your Active Coverage list is sorted alphabetically, you can narrow down your search by region, sector and grade type.

CS View is CreditSights Recommendation on issuers.

For investment grade and higher quality high yield names (BB universe and selective B), we express our company-level relative value recommendations on the scale of Outperform, Market perform and Underperform. These recommendations reflect our expectation of performance, measured in terms of potential for excess returns.

In cases where we expect a clear catalyst to drive performance, particularly high levels of trading volatility, or see specific substantial risks as the primary focus for investors, we use a Buy/Sell/Hold scale. Note that the use of Buy/Sell/Hold does not necessarily mean that a credit situation is speculative, but it does indicate the potential for near-term event risk or other catalysts. We tend to use Buy/Sell/Hold for distressed and stressed companies, names with a high level of idiosyncratic risk (e.g. volatile single B names) or for companies with bonds that are highly call constrained, as very short duration-to-call makes such bonds less comparable to the index sector or to similar companies.

The Deals pipeline is a new feature on the CreditSights platform. Consider it a calendar view for the Terms and Conditions of the Loans and Bonds covered on the platform.

So, for example, click on Bonds, it takes you to a view with the Terms & Conditions, Deal Type, Deal Size, the UOP (“Use of Proceeds”) and OM (which is a public document).

Our slate of events offer direct analyst engagement and unbiased expertise. We look forward to welcoming you to one of the upcoming events, so keep an eye on our calendar and we’ll see you soon!
